WF16 Quick and Easy

I tried the first tutorial for weathered wood with a toothbrush. I decided to try both white Cardstock and Kraft Cardstock. The ones in the left I scored lines to make it look like planks.

The left ones I used Antique Linen distress ink, the right is barn door. I applied with an old toothbrush, then dried them with my heat gun which took quite a while. I decided to skip the sanding step, which probably I shouldn't have.

I then had to make up a distress ink spray with Tea Dye reinker in my mini mister. I used up all I made on these backgrounds and then dried them again.

I like the antique linen ones quite a bit. I want to use distress ink and a blending tool on them to see if that improves the look.

My favorite is the blue and brown with the plank look. Next is the white plank look and I really like the pink clouds on the brown background. How did you achieve that look? You really did great work.

neat results, I love the kraft as a base and the blue over it, neat idea scoring planks in the paper

Ann, I did all the backgrounds the same pretty much, they just happened to turn out differently.

I definately think the 2 on the left most resemble aged wood, but the 2 on the right are neat looking too.

Terrific results Heidi! Thanks for trying the kraft paper and sharing the look with us! All of these will make great backgrounds!
